The first mention of Nibiru appeared in a NASA message in 1982. Literally a year later, scientists launched an artificial infrared satellite to confirm this theory, as a result of which a very large celestial object was discovered, called "". This celestial body is much larger than the planet Jupiter, but the danger lies in the fact that Nibiru is very close to our home planet Earth. American astronomers believe that Nibiru may well turn out to be a new planet in our solar system. The constellation Orion is officially recognized as the location of this space object. All that the staff of the program for studying this planet could say was that they had discovered something, but had not yet found out what it was. The governments of all countries have been informed of a possible threat and are taking measures to save citizens, as well as their own authorities.
Planet X, or the 10th planet of the solar system, Nibiru, is one of the satellites orbiting a black star or Brown Dwarf. There are five planets in the orbit of this star and located in close proximity to it, the planet Motherland rotates a little further, and after it the seventh planet Nibiru. The homeland is a little similar to our planet and is possibly suitable for life, since it is not much different. There is a legend that says that the Gods of antiquity, or, as they are also called Ennanek Giants, live on this planet. In turn, Nibiru is not suitable for life and acts as a kind of space station, perhaps even a combat one. A dark star is in a state close to the Sun, approximately 60-70 pairs. This state is called perihelion. At this time, there is a possibility of Nibiru passing through our solar system, and very close to the orbit of the giant Jupiter.
The 10th planet of the solar system, Nibiru, has an inclination of 30 degrees relative to the plane of movement of our Sun. Thus, as it passes through our solar system, the planet Nibiru leaves behind some large-scale destruction or deviation of the planets from its axis. True, these changes in the solar system last literally several weeks. Nibiru has a fiery red color and also has an asteroid belt around it. Additionally, Planet X has two moons. Scientists do not know exactly what exactly such destructive consequences entail, but what is known for sure is that the passage of the 10th planet through our solar system leads to devastating floods, the formation of new craters on the moon, cracks on its surface, as well as on the surface of other planets in the solar system. Also, there is an opinion that Atlantis collapsed due to the influence of Nibiru on it; whatever one may say, Planet X is the main connecting link between us and the Brown Dwarf star system.
In the stories of ancient people, the 10th planet of the solar system Nibiru is called “Winged Disc”. Scientists have proven that penetrating into the solar system, Nibiru passes below the ecliptic with constant acceleration, then goes around the sun from behind and returns below the star at an angle of 33 degrees. Scientists from NASA are observing this object using special equipment located at the south pole of the earth.
For the first time, Nibiru could be seen with the naked eye in May 2009, then in the form of a reddish object, the 10th planet of the solar system, Nibiru, moved directly in the orbit of the Earth. Until then, Planet X will only be visible in the southern hemisphere. After a while, namely two years, this strange space object became visible to all inhabitants of the Earth. According to astronomers, in 2012, on December 21, Nibiru will pass through the earth's orbit, which will entail multiple earthquakes, floods, as well as phenomenal changes in weather and climate, which is why scientists call this date the end of the world. But the worst thing is predicted for next year, because 2013 will bring even greater destruction that will occur due to the passage of the Earth between Nibiru and the Sun. After this, it will cease to have a detrimental effect on our solar system and move further away from our galaxy.
Astronomers have found a new (after removing Pluto from the list) ninth planet of the Solar System, Planet X. It is 10 times larger than Earth and 7 times farther from the Sun than Neptune.
This discovery was announced by scientists from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. The name for the planet has not yet been invented and astronomers have simply dubbed it Planet X. However, no one has yet seen it, including the godfathers.
Planet X was discovered through mathematical analysis of the gravitational effects experienced by Kuiper belt objects. This is a region far from the Sun where small and large asteroids and dwarf planets rotate in large numbers. These celestial bodies remained here as construction debris after the formation of the Solar System.
“By studying the orbits of these celestial bodies, we came to the conclusion that their trajectory is clearly influenced by some hidden giant,” said Brown. “Having compiled a computer model, we calculated the parameters of the invisible planet.
In principle, this is a common thing in astronomy. In much the same way, scientists predicted the existence of Uranus and Pluto long before their visual discovery.

It turned out that the mass of Planet X is 10 times the mass of the Earth. And it revolves around the Sun in a very elongated orbit. At the moment of closest approach to our luminary, the invisible planet and the star are separated by 200 astronomical units (an astronomical unit is the distance from the Sun to the Earth - ed.).
At this moment, Planet X is 7 times farther from the center of the Solar System than Neptune. And the farthest point of the orbit is at 1200 AU. from the sun. It is because of its great distance that astronomers have never observed Planet X through a telescope. Planet 9 makes a complete revolution around the Sun once every 15 thousand years.
Pluto killer
It is curious that one of the authors of the discovery of the 9th planet, Mike Bryan, ironically, used to bear the nickname ... “killer of the 9th planet.” The fact is that until 2006, Pluto was considered the ninth planet of the solar system. However, in 2005, Mike Brown discovered Eris, a planet slightly larger than Pluto. And it soon became clear that there are several such celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt.
As a result, the International Astronomical Union decided to introduce a third criterion into the definition of the concept of “planet”: the planet must clear its orbit from other celestial bodies of comparable scale.
As a result, Pluto was demoted to dwarf planets, and the number of planets in the solar system was reduced to eight. As for Brown, he published a popular science book under the eloquent title “How I Killed Pluto.”
“The most interesting thing is that even then I was convinced: Planet X must exist on the outskirts of the solar system,” Brown recalls. — In 2003, our group discovered the small planet Sedna. It is slightly smaller in size than Pluto and Eris, but its orbit lies far beyond the Kuiper belt and is not subject to the gravitational influence of Neptune.
Sedna at that time was the most distant known large body in the Solar System. The question arose, what force forced it to enter such a non-standard orbit? The answer is obvious: only a massive planet the size of Neptune could have pulled Sedna onto such a distant trajectory.
Who is Konstantin Bagytin?
With Mike Brown everything is clear. This is a reputable scientist with extensive experience and a brilliant track record. Who is Konstantin Batygin? At the age of 13, he and his parents moved from Russia to the United States. Graduated with distinction from Harvard University.
Konstantin is not yet 30 years old, but he is already a professor at the California Institute of Technology! He is described as a mathematical and computer genius. In his tandem with Mike Brown, calculations and computer modeling are Konstantin’s area of responsibility.
However, it is still too early to officially talk about the discovery of the 9th planet. We need to see it and record it. Now there is a competition among astronomers to become the first scientist to catch Planet X through a telescope.
Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown intend to maintain the championship here too; they have at their disposal a large telescope at the Gemeni Observatory in Hawaii. But they now have many competitors around the world.
The universe is full of strange things. Stars have recently been discovered that travel through the Universe at ultra-high speeds. And clouds stretching for several light years that smell like raspberries or rum have been found in space. Space is fraught with many amazing and incredible things.
In this article we will talk about planets that are not quite ordinary in our understanding. We have more or less studied several planets of ours Solar System, they all have some common features, but also have many differences. And what can we say about planets on other star systems, which may be very different from ours.
These strange and mysterious planets beyond the solar system have been discovered within the last decade or so.
Let's take a look at 10 most unusual planets outside the Solar System.
#10
Artistic representation of the planet HD 209458 b. View from the surface of another planet.HD 209458 b is located 153 light years away from Earth V constellation Pegasus. It is estimated to be 30% more than Jupiter, and the diameter of its orbit is 1/8 of the orbital diameter Mercury, it's less than 10 million kilometers. Naturally, the temperature of this planet is very high: about 1250°C - 1500°C.
The striking feature of this planet is that this gas giant under the influence of high temperature and enormous pressure it cannot retain its atmosphere. Various gases in the atmosphere overcome the gravitational field of the planet, accelerating to enormous speeds.
All this does HD 209458 b a unique planet with its own tail, consisting of a stream of planetary gases.
And, despite the fact that the evaporation of the planet is very active, it does not particularly affect the planet itself. It would take about a trillion years for the planet to completely evaporate.

Planet of Stone Rains (CoRoT-7 b)
Comparative sizes of planet CoRoT-7 b and Earth It is a very unusual planet outside the solar system. Its distance from Earth is 489 light years. It is a super-Earth with a radius 1.5 times that of Earth, but with a mass about 7 times that of Earth. This is due to the proximity of this planet to its star CoRoT-7. It makes one revolution around a star in 20 Earth hours.
Most likely, the planet used to be a gas giant similar to ours Jupiter or Saturn, but due to the proximity to its star, all the light elements of the planet evaporated, while the heavy ones remained. Thus, it consists mainly of stone.
Due to the planet's proximity to the star, it is tidally locked, i.e. one side always faces the star. On the illuminated side, the temperature of the planet's surface can reach up to 4000°C, while on the other side the temperature is 3500°C.
This temperature creates the conditions for the appearance of an atmosphere consisting of molten rock (magma). Just imagine, the illuminated side of the planet is nothing more than a seething ocean of lava, with a scorching atmosphere that falls on the dark side of the planet like a rain of stones.
The recently launched Spitzer Space Telescope has discovered a new planet orbiting the Sun in a distant orbit. The planet discovered by astronomers was named Sednaya after the Eskimo goddess of the ocean.
A new planet has been discovered in a region of space called the Kuiper Belt (KB). There are many space objects in it, both small and quite large. Astronomers believe that the study of this sector of space is extremely promising.
Sedna became the largest space object in the solar system discovered by astronomers since 1930, when Pluto was discovered. Immediately after the discovery of a “new object” was announced, a discussion resumed among scientists about what exactly the “find” was. Some astronomers believe that Sedna is a real planet. Others say that this is just a large space object. The first version is supported by the fact that Sedna has its own orbit, which it does not change.
Scientists have found that Sedna revolves around the Sun in a highly elongated elliptical orbit. Currently, the object is located at a distance of about 13 billion km from the center of the Solar system, and at the farthest point of the orbit, the distance from the planetoid to the Sun reaches 130 billion km. Sedna makes one revolution around the Sun in 10,500 Earth years. In size, Sedna occupies an intermediate position between Pluto and the previously discovered giant asteroid Quaoar. According to researchers, Sedna is about 1,700 km across.
The geometry of Sedna's orbit made researchers think of the Oort belt - a cluster of asteroids with a highly elongated elliptical orbit. It is from this belt that many comets probably originate. According to scientists, the Oort belt (or cloud) surrounds the Sun and extends to half the distance between the Sun and the Alpha Centauri system, the closest star system to the Sun. However, Sedna is located about ten times closer to Earth than the proposed Oort Belt.
Another unusual feature of Sedna is that the planetoid is reddish in color. In this characteristic, Sedna is surpassed only by Mars. There is also indirect evidence that Sedna has a satellite, but it is not possible to detect it with modern observation tools. Over the next 72 years, Sedna will approach Earth, which will allow us to better study this unusual object, which some are already calling the tenth planet of the solar system. However, this characterization of Sedna is very controversial: not all astronomers still recognize the status of a planet even for Pluto.

The International Astronomical Society has confirmed the discovery of the 10th planet in the solar system.California Institute of Technology spokesman Mike Brown said the new planet is larger than Pluto, which has a diameter of about 2,250 km, and is twice as far from the Sun. According to scientists, the distance to it is now 97 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The planet revolves around the Sun in approximately ten and a half thousand Earth years. And the orbital radius is 130 billion kilometers.
The object has not yet received an official name, but the discoverers are temporarily calling it 2003 UB313 or Sednaya - in honor of the sea deity of the Eskimo Inuit tribe.
The new planet was discovered by Michael Brown of Caltech, Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University.
In an interview with the BBC, Rabinowitz said: "This is an amazing day and an amazing year. 2003 UB313 is probably bigger than Pluto. It's less bright than Pluto, but it's three times as far away as it is. If only it were at the same distance as "Pluto, then it would be brighter than it. Now the world knows that there are other Plutos that are located on the outskirts of the solar system, where they are difficult to find."
The planet was discovered using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory, as well as the Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii.
"The spectral samples obtained from Gemini are particularly interesting because they indicate that the surface of this planet is very similar to the surface of Pluto," said Chad Trujillo. It is composed mainly of rocks and ice.
2003 UB313's orbit is unlike those of other planets, possibly due to the influence of Neptune. Astronomers believe that at some point in the planet's history, Neptune's gravitational influence threw it into an orbit rotated 44 degrees to the ecliptic plane.
The new cosmic body was first noticed on October 21, 2003, but then scientists did not suspect that it was moving. Fifteen months later, in January 2005, telescopes were unable to detect it at the same point in the sky. Researchers say they tried to locate the planet using the Spitzer Space Telescope, which detects infrared light, but were unable to find it. From this it was concluded that the object was moving.
The upper limit of observational error under these conditions is 3 thousand km, which means that the diameter of the planet cannot be greater than this figure, scientists say. And even the lowest limit of observational error makes the new planet a larger celestial body than Pluto.
However, if the diameter of the cosmic body turns out to be only about 2 thousand km, the discovered object will fall from the category of planets under the definition of “planetoid”.
However, the celestial body presumably has its own satellite. This explains the extremely long period of rotation of the find around its axis - from 20 to 50 days.
As Brown explained, 2003 UB313 will be visible in telescopes over the next six months in the constellation Cetus. He also admitted that scientists hoped to first double-check all the data and then only make the discovery public, but there was a leak of information. Previously, the Spaniards named the discovered cosmic body 2003 EL61, and the Americans - K40506A.
As BBC science commentator David Whitehouse points out, since the discovery of Neptune in 1846, this planet has become the largest celestial body discovered by astronomers in the solar system.
